Seashell Spiral Alchemy/Seashell Reiki
We are often drawn to pick out our favorite seashell when visiting the shoreline. Have you ever wondered why we pick one shell over another? Seashells have their own unique spiral energy. Just as Reiki is an energetic healing modality, seashell alchemy is as well. As a Spiral Energy Alchemist, Colleen works with the spirals of the shells channeling their energies to assist clients. Focus can be applied to anything physical, emotional, mental, energetic and spiritual. Some things may be healing, growth, integration, joy and support. It may include gentle touch with client consent. Feelings of warmth or tingling are commonly experienced. Visions and messages may be experienced as well. However, each client and session will differ. Seashell Spiral Alchemy sessions can be scheduled in-person or virtually, and can be done in conjunction with some of the other modalities offered.
Somatic Alchemy
Are you currently in therapy? Are you looking for an awesome compliment to psychology? Colleen has you covered. Do you ever find yourself in a situation thinking, “I processed this, I understand this trigger and it doesn’t bother me anymore. So why do I feel like this? Why are my sensations not matching my emotions or thoughts?” There is an answer to that and it has to do with what has not yet been processed by your body or nervous system. Understanding our nervous system and what stressors may impact our mental health is incredible. But, why stop there? Through Colleen’s somatic alchemy, you will work to find techniques to regulate your nervous system. Once a sense of safety is developed and can be obtained by you, we move into a deeper connection to the body. At a pace comfortable to you, you’ll explore areas holding trauma. Sessions may include movement, breathwork, contrast therapy, exercise recommendations, trauma history and identification, attachment style review, practice setting and maintaining boundaries, vagal toning, and guided meditations to feel safe connecting to the physical body. Recommended for those that have a support system in place. Preferred, but not required, to work in conjunction with your mental health therapist. If you need help creating that support and finding a therapist, Colleen will help. A treatment plan is developed to address your needs and will be adjusted each session to ensure optimal results. This can be done in-person or virtually.
